How Not To Be A Schmuck
(Thursdays) January 24, January 31, February 1
Noon
Most people don’t think they need character training.
One’s character is constantly developing and it manifests in humans from a variety of sources. Visual & push messages, social bombardments, generational pressure, divergent vs. normative natural behaviors, friend or family influences, spiritual influences, and cultural messages all play a part in how we develop.
Join Elliot Ratzman and learn to “train” your ethical muscles, attend to others, and develop character practices for your life.
This workshop will meet for three sessions at the Center for Spiritual & Religious Life.
A Stone of Hope Exhibit – January 14-18
Walk through this exhibit in the Warch Campus Center anytime January 14th through the 18th.
Exhibit Description: Before 1900, the Fox Cities were home to a growing Black population of Civil War veterans, small business owners and community leaders. Losing hope, most Blacks left the area by 1920 due to increasing harassment from police, racial exclusion at hotels, racial covenants barring home ownership and minstrelsy advertising and entertainment.
The exhibit also addresses Appleton’s past sundown custom and racial exclusion from 1915 to 1961, and how the Fox Cities emerged from this mountain of despair during the Civil Rights Era.
To share this history, the exhibit includes twelve floor banners, each richly illustrated with photographs of individuals, businesses and events described in the narrative. A kiosk with oral history videos of current Black residents helps demonstrate how Appleton has moved forward, but also that more work toward equality is needed.
